Sorry, I was refering to the opening of urls (tls or otherwise)
especially before I've had a chance to even see what they are.

That's a serious attack vector and why I would never choose an html
enabled mail reader.

Unfortunately my mail reader of choice (for the last 20 years or so;-)
seems to have morphed into one.
I'm hoping that that can be turned off.

Sorry, mh-e may be a red-herring.
I want to prevent Emacs from opening http[s] urls - at the very least
while scanning mail that I've not even been able to read yet.

Thanks
